Biological function summary
PDGF-B influences cellular signaling processes and facilitates interactions that are a part of the PDGF receptor system. PDGF-B can form a homo-dimerization commonly known as the PDGF-BB dimer which is an active form. When PDGF-B binds to its receptor specifically the PDGF receptor β (PDGFR-β) it triggers pathways that control various cellular activities including growth and survival. The interaction of PDGF-B with the receptor is an important step that modulates several downstream signaling pathways.
Pathways
PDGF-B activates significant pathways such as the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways. These pathways play a major role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. Through these pathways PDGF-B exhibits interactions with proteins like Ras and Akt which are integral in transmitting signals within the cell. These cascades result in the promotion of processes such as angiogenesis and wound healing highlighting the importance of PDGF-B in cellular function.
General info
Function
Growth factor that plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. Potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin. Required for normal proliferation and recruitment of pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells in the central nervous system, skin, lung, heart and placenta. Required for normal blood vessel development, and for normal development of kidney glomeruli. Plays an important role in wound healing. Signaling is modulated by the formation of heterodimers with PDGFA (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.
